HHV-8 and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Prevalence in the cerebrospinal fluid of the following infectious agents in a cohort of 12 CFS subjects: human herpes virus-6 and 8; chlamydia species; mycoplasma species; EBV; CMV; and Coxsackievirus.

Levine, S. Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2001, 9, 1/2, 41-51.
Abstract: Over the last decade a wide variety of infectious agents have been associated with the CFS as potential etiologies for this disorder. Many of these agents are neurotrophic and have been linked previously to other diseases involving the central nervous system (CNS). Human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6), especially the B variant, has been found in autopsy specimens of patients who suffered from MS. Because patients with CFS manifest a wide range of symptoms involving the CNS as shown by abnormalities on brain MRIs, SPECT scans of the brain and results of tilt table testing we sought to determine the prevalence of HHV-6, HHV-8, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), mycoplasma species, chlamydia species, and Coxsackie virus in the spinal fluid of a group of 12 patients with CFS (CDC criteria '94).
We found evidence of HHV-6, HHV-8, chlamydia species, CMV and Coxsackie virus in 6/12 samples. Plasma tests were negative. It was surprising to obtain such a relatively high yield of infectious agents in cell free specimens of spinal fluid that had not been centrifuged. Future research in spinal fluid analysis, in addition to testing tissue samples by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and other direct viral isolation techniques will be important in characterizing subpopulations of CFS patients, especially those with involvement of the CNS.
The low rate of isolation of HHV-6 may be related to the lack of gross neurological findings in the patients at the time of testing.

Is this the most tragic Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and HHV-6 story?

-
Image
From The Virus Within by Nicholas Regush . http://extras.denverpost.com/books/chvirus0528.htm In the fall of 1996, Tina, in her forties, spiraled ever deeper into depression, suffering from repeated attacks of migraine headaches. Desperate, she offered herself the only prescription that seemed fitting: suicide by drug overdose. When news of her suicide attempt spread throughout the area, people were shocked. What could drive Tina to such straits? Yet the real tragedy was still on the horizon. Several months before, Tina had experienced a flurry of flu-like symptoms: difficulty in breathing, nausea, diarrhea, fever, and aches all over her body. The symptoms were noted in her medical record, but she made nothing of them. After all, such symptoms are common and transient, usually abating without medical intervention. In fact, many early symptoms of disease are subtle and do not attract attention until the disease is well established. This is probably why...

From the University of Wurzburg: "While HHV-6 was long believed to have no negative impact on human health, scientists today increasingly suspect the virus of causing various diseases such as multiple sclerosis or chronic fatigue syndrome. Recent studies even suggest that HHV-6 might play a role in the pathogenesis of several diseases of the central nervous system such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression or Alzheimer's." https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-events/news/detail/news/viruses-under-the-microscope/ The scientist who deserves a Nobel Prize for his work on HHV-6 and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-events/news/detail/news/viruses-under-the-microscope/ Viruses Under the Microscope 09/14/2018 Human herpesviruses such as HHV-6 can remain dormant in cells for many years without being noticed.

Nadler did that at the urging of Charles Ortleb, the publisher and the New York Native and his reporter Neenyah Ostrom. Ortleb and Ostrom had made the case to Nadler that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the virus it had been linked to, HHV-6, were serious public health issues.                                                 In an interview in New York Native with Neenyah Ostrom,Congressman Nadler said, "Congress can mandate research into CFS as a viral disease.
